<p>Between you and I, I’d rather have humid and 82 than 30 with big chunks of snow going down my jacket!</p>
<p>Tomorrow is going to involve some major shoveling!</p>
<p><48 hours, guys :)</p>
<p>I wonder if the blizzard delayed the notification…</p>
<p>Hey, I’m new to this… but, while snowbound, I stumbled on this admirably frank overview of the problems and concerns Tuft’s “ Undergraduate Admissions and Financial Aid Committee “ had in 2011:</p>
<p><a href=“Faculty Committees | Office of the Secretary of the Faculty - Arts, Sciences, and Engineering”>Faculty Committees | Office of the Secretary of the Faculty - Arts, Sciences, and Engineering;
<p>It’s a fascinating read that provides some very candid insight into the big picture, but also raises a lot of questions.</p>
<p>Perhaps most pertinent, the report repeatedly cites Tuft’s use of an academic index in the admission process. Here’s a sample quote:</p>
<p>“Entering students who rank in the bottom quarter of the academic index used by Admissions have a disproportionate number of academic problems during their first semester. Is their (sic) a way that we can provide better advising and academic assistance before they begin to fail?” </p>
<p>Is the index still in use? If so, does anyone know how Tufts calculates the index or uses it in its holistic admission process? Are the many online calculators a fair approximation?</p>
<p>Dan, are you around? Can you shed some light? Good luck tomorrow everyone… I can’t wait.</p>
<p>I wish all of you the best of luck.</p>
<p>See you after 3pm?</p>
<p>In my usual sappy, sentimental style, I wanted to tell everyone here what an honor and great time it was to wait and/or suffer with them through the countdown to decisions. </p>
<p>No matter who gets in and who doesn’t, it was great to meet all of you. Hopefully, if enough of us get in, we can have a CC meetup in the spring during Jumbo Days. </p>
<p>Best of luck to everyone; I won’t be able to look at my decision until at least five o’clock-ish. See you on the other side. (:</p>
<p>This is my first post ever in College Confidential, but good luck guys!! I go to an international school in Singapore, and so I guess I’ll get my decision when I wake up the morning of the 12th Singapore time! All the best :)</p>
<p>So decisions are out today (Monday) for sure? Or is there a chance they may come out on Tuesday??
Good luck to everyone :D</p>
<p>^ Yeah, I received an email From my alumni interview who wished me good luck with “Decisions being announced on Tuesday”</p>
<p>Someone emailed admissions and they said Monday. If anyone else wants to email them, go ahead, but I’ve emailed them enough and I don’t want to be a pest!</p>
<p>If they aren’t released until tomorrow I might cry!</p>
<p>I really just need to know today! I have been waiting 5 months for this!!!</p>
<p>Tufts is open today so that’s a good sign!</p>
<p>Tidalwavefan, i feel the exact same way. Every time i think of the decisions i either want to hyperventilate or throw up and i don’t even know why I’m so nervous. I usually don’t freak out about things.</p>
<p>I dreamt that I was rejected from Tufts and felt a marvelous sense of relief and then woke up and realized decisions hadn’t been released yet.</p>
<p>Guys check your tams! I live in greece and im about to clickkkkk</p>
<p>and I’m in… no more freaking out! I hope to see a bunch of you next year.</p>
<p>Got rejected like a boss. It was nice meeting all of you.</p>
<p>same. rejected. kinda expected but dissapointing nonetheless. guess I have to wait till march…</p>
